Remoter URL Handling

Remoter URL Handling

Remoter (both the iOS and Mac versions) can be started from another applications, or from a website by using a simple URL scheme system.

 

The URL scheme is of the following form:

schemename://user[:pass]@server[:port][/?key1=value&key2=value2…keyn=valuen]

(Sections in brackets [] are optional)

 

Examples:

remoter-vnc://raf@mymacbook/?viassh=mysshserver&user=mysshuser&pass=mysshpass

connects using VNC over SSH to mymacbook (via the mysshserver SSH server). Since the password for the VNC server is not specified, you will be prompted for it

vnc://raf:p4ss@mymacbook

connects to mymacbook via VNC using the username raf and password p4ss

remoter-rdp://raf@win7box/?domain=domain03

connects to the rdp server win7box using the domain03/raf as the username

 

Scheme Names:

vnc:// or remoter-vnc:// > VNC

rdp:// or remoter-rdp:// > RDP

ssh:// or remoter-ssh:// > SSH

telnet:// or remoter-telnet:// > Telnet
